socks. it shakes noisily during the spin cycle and slows down and this time it completes the load. sears wanted him to be happy with his washer. he said here, come down and pick out a new machine. >> he swapped it for this new special washer, with a special setting for small loads. >> i'm thrilled. hey, i like the new machine. >> so far richard said the new machine has done small loads without a problem. it's not just kenmore. other washers can be sensitive to small loads. i would like to thank sears for letting richard swap out his washer. i'm michael finney. 7 on your side. >> lisa argen is here. i'm looking forward to a report we got coming up in a few minutes from karen up in the chilly spots. >> the temperatures have dropped to freezing up there and they

are going to linger through the next several hours. definitely a good chance of the frost in the north bay. we head outside right now, it's cold everywhere. we are looking at the 40s in san francisco. so with that sun not up until 6:45, it won't be until about 8:00 when things begin to that you out. truckky is at 16. tahoe valley airport reporting snow and 22 degrees. so we are looking at live doppler 7 hd this morning. showers are dotting the coastline. they are missing san francisco, but headed to the south so perhaps parts of san jose may see a few sprinkles, as well as gilroy and salinas as a weak disturbance allows a little bit of energy to continue to slide south ever us. most of the activity to the east and things will clear on out for the state today. but, boy, temperatures are going to take some time to recover. still well below normal. just above freezing in santa rosa at 33.

35 in napa. 39 by the delta. elsewhere we are in the 40s with 46 fremont, 43 in loss got tas with oakland the warm spot. 51 at half moon bay, just 50 degrees. the water temperature is about 53. so definitely pretty cold out there. but it's looking like the temperatures are going to take below normal for the rest of the reckoned, as well. a little bit of wind this morning allowing for oakland to stay up in the 50s. elsewhere with the win are calm from santa rosa and napa, that's where we get the numbers dropping quickly. look at that wind along the shoreline, keeping the number at about 50. half moon bay. north wind gusting to around 17 miles an hour. we are looking at the temperatures throughout the next several days to remain cool with the frost advisory today. probably likely again tomorrow morning. and then we will look for a few areas of light snow perhaps around clear lake, up in lake county. and then that chilly start for tomorrow morning. so the area of low pressure went

through, brought that little bit of rain. but behind it still some cold, unstable air. you can see it all the way up from fort bragg town through point surf report and also throughout the central coast here. so with this cooler air in place, it is a cold start. we will look for the numbers to slowly modify, bringing some sunshine but that's not going to help too machine. we are still well below normal today and tomorrow. so we will look for the numbers today around the bay to stay in the 50s. 59 in campbell with upper 50s in santa clara. 58 menlo park, 60 in milbrae. and downtown today just 56 degrees. looking sunny out there for sure. but certainly cool, 52 bodega bay, 59 in oakland. and you head on inland and look at the numbers here still in the upper 50s with 58 in watsonville. 59 in salinas. so the accuweather seven-day forecast. notice the numbers try to warm up a little bit. but, you know, the warmest day of the week should be tuesday and that's before another
